Economically correct sitting has style. Our new SITWELL ergonomic seating collection with interchangeable STEIFENSAND cushions makes it possible for you to create your individual sitting dream at home or in your office.

Every person sits differently. Women are especially disadvantaged on DIN and uniform chairs due to their breathing and biological needs „Sitting makes you ill“, and those who sit should be able to sit especially well in order to protect their health and prevent back and shoulder pain.

Women’s backs – Women sit differently because they are biologically and anatomically different. A woman’s pelvis is flatter and wider than a man’s.

Women are susceptible to lordosis, which means they need a different kind of support. Women also breathe 4-6 times more per minute than a man and have a greater need for motion in the legs, hips, and rear.

Men’s backs – Men sit differently because they have more muscles and a different physical composition.

Men have a different pelvis shape and are susceptible to humpback. The reproductive organs are on the body’s exterior and by nature are not made for heat.

Our bodies are the houses in which we live, and health is the most important thing we have in life.

The SITWELL® STEIFENSAND AG seat research group and an international team of doctors have been on a quest to understand the causes of the nation’s number one disease: back pain and other office illnesses.

The purchase of seating is a matter of trust. „Seating illnesses“ creep up on us, and we only become aware of it when we feel pain.

SITWELL® STEIFENSAND AG creates custom seating solutions for you and works like medicine for the body, mind and soul as well as improves your emotional and physical health at the workplace. Sitting at your desk in a healthy manner can reduce not only sick days for the company, but also maintains the
performance and vitality of the employees.

A SITWELL STEIFENSAND AG check list for the appropriate way of sitting in an office

When you are walking and running, a large number of muscles is constantly in motion and thereby trained. And this constant movement guarantees the health and fitness of your body. When you are sitting on ordinary modern office chairs, it is practically impossible that your muscles move in a way that guarantees the health of your organism.

The posture on those chairs is rather fixed. Moving – while sitting – is only possible to a very small extent. And that during 80.000 hours you spend in an office in your working life. What can be done about that?

The Sitwell check list “The ABC of the right way of sitting”, which was developed by acknowledged experts for industrial medicine, sports medicine and orthopaedics, gives you precious advice how to sit well both in your office and at home.

If a chair forces you into a certain sitting position, many muscles are no longer sufficiently activated and therefore degenerate (=atrophy). That causes a strong and exaggerated curve of the spinal column, which extremely strains the discs.

This constant strain is responsible for the degeneration of the discs which causes chronic backache. According to new academic knowledge, ordinary office chairs can endanger men’s fertility and their ability to reproduce.

The fact that they don’t move enough, that their blood vessels around the pelvis are squeezed together and are constantly being overheated can lead to these embarrassing results.

This is why Gernot Steifensand, son of the famous pioneer of disc-friendly Bürostuhl and swivel chairs, hired three acknowledged experts to develop a check list for the appropriate way of sitting in an office: Prof. Dr. Theodor Peters – a specialist for industrial and social medicine from Dusseldorf, Dr. med. Peter Stehle – a specialist for sports medicine from Bonn, and Dr. Michael Sababi- an orthopaedist from Los Angeles.

This free check list gives precious advice for a gender-specific way of sitting that takes into account the characteristics of your body.

For years Gernot Steifensand has been dealing with the difficulties of sitting in an office. Practical observations as well as a whole array of medical insights have led to the development of a new generation of office swivel chairs that respect the specifics of the body’s system of muscles and nerves and that place special emphasis on comfort and well-being.

Besides, they also respect the different needs of men and women.

These new chairs are called Lady Sitwell and Mister Sitwell. All muscles, especially the ones in your torso, back, shoulders and arms, are trained by continual stimuli. Those muscles support and relieve your spinal column. Discs and joints are kept fit by soft micro movements. Thereby also your metabolism is stimulated. That strengthens both the functions of your heart and your lung and increases the oxygen supply of each cell.

This again leads to improved efficiency and well-being. The office swivel chairs that respect the specifics of the body’s system of muscles and nerves also take into account the gender- and size-related differences.
